Hi, it’s Al Franken.
I don’t usually send messages like this, so I’m hoping you’ll read to the end for a GREAT story.
Before that, though, I want to tell you about Peggy Flanagan.
She is unbelievably great and she’s running to keep Minnesota’s Senate seat blue.
Her end-of-month fundraising deadline is tonight so I’ll get to the point: Please donate now.

For any of my comrades who are using SNAP, I wish I had something better to say than "if you crush 4 buckeyes with a hammer and tie the pulp in a sock you can wash a good sized load of laundry." English Ivy also has saponins, but I've never been able to make soap from it myself.
Ivy is everywhere. Buckeyes (Horse Chestnuts) are common in city parks (there are a ton in Seattle).
Yucca is also a good source of saponins, but it also has silica. That makes it a good scrubby soap. You can find these plants all over they're pretty common to find in yards.
If you can find acorns still (it's a bit late, but who knows), acorn grits are great and something you can survive on for a bit. Acorns need processing (it's easy to look up, but feel free to ask or check out one or Black Forager's videos on it).
If you've been following me for a bit, you probably already know all this. But if you don't, I hope it helps.
Any other forager folks are welcome to drop hints here that might be useful to folks in the city.

TRAVIS: Right. [They go down some steps into a tunnel. Travis looks around.]
SERVALAN: Travis!
TRAVIS: Huh?
SERVALAN: It's this way. [They walk through wet tunnels, there are loud breathing sounds in the background.]

Bin den ganzen Abend als Zombie die Leute am erschrecken, die zu uns klingeln kommen. Viel Lob von den Begleitern, was wir uns für Mühe mit Garten-, Hausdeko und Kostüm gemacht haben.

I’m following like twenty people with my Pixelfed account (@…) right now, which feels absurdly small in my timeline, so I guess I’m gonna follow some more:

“We gave them ample notice,” Hudgens said when asked about Alt5 Sigma’s claim it missed its
third-quarter deadline because of delays tied to its independent accountant.
Hudgens said his firm had conversations with possible successors
-- but he didn’t think Alt5 Sigma had engaged any of them.
As for when a company is late with filing a quarterly report, in general, he said,
“it usually indicates issues"

TRAVIS: Would he do that?
SERVALAN: Oh, yes. He thought it through very carefully. He wouldn't even reveal the location of the laboratory until I'd agreed to all his terms.
TRAVIS: Which were?
